Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as successful, as validated in the world, as Ms Rowling, to be negative, to be disruptive if you will, to a very beaten up subculture. These are human beings. She has no right to opine, I think, upon the lives of human beings that she does not know.”
“I feel very protective of people who are on the edge of our culture as gay people still are,” Barker continued. “And certainly transgender people are on the edge of our culture. And here you have one of the most successful people in the frigging world – Ms Rowling. Going after a very emotionally vulnerable portion of our culture. It just seems unnecessary and unfair.”
Clive Barker gets it.

Just realized my copy of Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac has, in order, a Savers/Value Village sticker, a Thriftbooks sticker, and a Goodwill sticker. Wild that this book has passed through so many hands.

Shame about the lack of interest but I get it. I was lucky to get all 3 SLG vol's. IMO I think your stuff has great crowdfunding potential if/ when you're inclined.

Lineup of TNG characters drawn in the big-head and bug-eyed cartoon style of Bob's Burgers. Characters included are: Picard, Riker (with trombone), Troi, Data (with Spot), Geordi, Dr Crusher, Worf (with mek'leth), Yar (as a holo), O'Brien (with console), Wesley, Pulaski, Guinan, Ro Laren, Barclay, Q, Tebok, Gowron, and a generic Borg (not Hugh.)
That one time I drew the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation in the style of Bob's Burgers
